| Reverse description | The reverse displays a single punch-marked symbol, appearing as a compact, roughly square or rectangular device with internal geometric detail, struck off-center on the irregular flan. The symbol is rendered in the abbreviated, schematic manner typical of ancient Indian city-state bronze issues of the 2nd century BC. The surrounding field is plain and undecorated, exhibiting the characteristic rough texture and green patination of an excavated bronze. No legend or inscription is present. The strike is shallow and slightly diffuse, consistent with hand-hammered production. |
